Description
I have used Screen Capture , by mouser , for a long time.
Excellent program.
I have used many other before that.
How ever non gave me any hidden screen.

My program , although a wile on my site , has added functions
for Donationcoder fans to handle more things and bug fix.

Screen capture by handle can catch graphics you cannot
catch with an ordinary Screen capture program.
Since all components on page of a program use handles
a button (key) , for example , on a program can be saved as bitmap.
To catch this same button with a "normal screen capture" one
has to use an area function and use kind of an image edit program
to modify.
In this program the button is caught NETO ,by handle , and shown
as is, no need to use an image program to manipulate.

Neat.  Nice to have you participating in NANY again this year, limelect.

Hi,

I'm trying this out. I grab a screen. I click on image area and see a square outlined within the larger image. I click on grab expecting that the image area will become a new image that I can send to the clipboard but nothing happens. Am I misunderstanding how this app works?

To use:

Double click a tree line. Get the handle number. Grab the bit map.

Maybe even open the help file and read! > "Save File..."

[Arthur Menu]

I did read the Help file. I am trying to do what is described in the "More features" section:

"Activate an image area.
This feature allow to save a portion of the screen.
Resize , or move , the image area with the mouse.
Zoom will zoom the bitmap inside Image area

Saving the image can be done after pressing the GRAB key.
One can save full or partial graphics to BMP or JPG."

I activate a smaller image area within the larger image. See file attached.

I then click on Grab but the smaller image area is not grabbed.

So how do I grab the smaller image area?

[Curt]

if SCbH already was open, you will first need to click "Refresh".

[Arthur Menu]

I open scbh, grab a handle and now I see a specific window in the screen catch area. I open an image area in that window.

I c1ick on Refresh, click on Grab, and the window disappears. In its place I see my desktop in the scbh screen catch area  with the outline of the image area superimposed on it.

The image area I wanted to grab has disappeared and not been grabbed.

If I made a mistake in the sequence of actions, please give me a step-by-step description of what I should be doing.

This is a very interesting tool. For further development, I'd like to use it from the command line with options for handle No., output file etc. (e.g. in a timed batch loop).


The "ScaleMode" bar is not shown completely on ma laptop. (see Attachment).

I have a general question, because I don't know what any of this "handle" terminology even means: If anybody's used both, how does this compare to Mouser's ScreenCaptor,
https://www.donation...er/screenshotcaptor/
in terms of (a) capabilities and (b) ease of use by know-nothings like me? (And also, I guess, (c) learning curve.)

hi wdstarr
"Screen Capture by handle" here is much more specialised programme -- if you simply want to take screenshots, Screenshot Captor is your man. I'll call it 'SC' -- it has become much more user friendly in the last couple of years. The best introduction is probably one of mouser's videos
https://www.donation...c/3ds/sc27/sc27.html
this one has a great summary - but goes very quick: you'll probably need to use pause and rewind occasionally :-)
